hey guys, a few questions/opinions regarding Goat Martyr. I was thinking, just if you guys were to imagine the band, an occult, satanic blackened death metal band, what images pop up into your head? What kind of music do you imagine? Do you hear more of a Bephegor vibe or a more traditional, melodic Necrophobic style of blackened death? So far the songs I've written are somewhat in between the two, but I'm not sure whch ones I'll keep and which ones I'll scrap. The two other dudes that are in the band haven't an idea, either.

recorded some tracks for a satanpope song. Going to finish the third, or maybe fourth track tomorrow hopefully. This could turn into a single song around 4-5 minutes, or be part of a longer song, but I'm debating that because of the quality and style difference that the next part would have. This part was recorded with a yamaha sr-22 and my honeytone amp for the guitar parts for a raw dungeon synth sound, but the next part will be almost strictly my 15w line6 spider iv and will be the same riff, but in a heavier doomy style. I might just extend the part i have a minute with some sustained drone riffs and then come whaling in for the second part, but I'm not completely sure. Do you guys think a raw bm/ dungeon synth song can lead straight into a drone/ doom song, or should they be separate tracks?

Also, started writing some grindcore, though I dont think I will have enough completed in time for the grindcore contest deadline. Regardless, I hope to continue with it even if it's not done for a while.

I think it can. Depending on how the raw bm/ dungeon synth song ends and how the other begins it would actually sound really awesome. I would use a similar tone for the guitars as it might sound odd if it isn't done right. Maybe beef up the first songs guitars a bit?

lol a floppy disc release. that's def just doing it because it's different cause there's no other purpose.

Well it is compressed differently so it will sound different. However it really is pointless as people will just use the download codes. I just want to release something physically. I don't care about even making my money back or even getting money. Pentu is just a fun little side project.

More bands then you think have released floppy diskcs

I'm well aware of how many have. I think it's just dumb cause I personally don't buy them, don't download the work on it. It's basically to me a waste of effort, but that's me. Cause the way I feel if you put your work on something that's so unfriendly to utilize in listening to it... I feel you probably didn't put much effort into what's on it and more on the packaging of it, which is how I feel about tons of noise artists... very elaborate and sometimes cool packaging for tape hiss and bass hum.If you want to do it I'm not going to stop you nor can I, but I'm just offering you my thoughts on it.

And don't give me that want to release something physically nor making you rmoney back or getting money. I'm the same way but I put it out on formats that most people can easily listen to at any time and not odd for no reason.

Not so much as a musician, but been planning releases and promoting releases on my label so far. Here's one particular split tape that's awesome. Also, probably making my label releases limited to online and analog formats only.

Why not keep both? You shouldn't feel a need to confine a band to a one-dimensional sound, mixing those two would make for some variety while still being able to be cohesive.

I decided to try my hand at writing some dark ambient stuff and wrote two songs. Kinda fun. The epicverb VST comes in really handy for ambient music, by the way. I'll try to write a few more this weekend. At this rate I'll be releasing an album from every subgenre of metal within the next year or so, so I might as well add dark ambient to the list. Maybe I'll write a sonata or something too.

My Groove metal band is falling apart. Just after opening for Dying Fetus, and getting ready to record our first demo, our drummer and bassist quit. I'm looking to start a doom metal side band, and I've also wrote a few atmospheric black metal songs, and arranged a dsbm version of Shout by Tears For Fears xD

It's apples and oranges because the people listening to our music are completely different. I have maybe 15 people that like my stuff so why should I make 15 CD's when I can do something that is a little bit more "personal" then just a cd and some artwork. It's something to "collect" as lame as that sounds.

In the end it's never up to the fans to decide what I do with my project. I mean my friend has put out two 8-tracks. Is that a viable option? No, but who cares. Should I never put out vinyl because my fans won't be able to play it in their car? No. I do things because these are things that are important to me. I put a lot of effort into my music and I sometimes the easy way isn't the right way.

Oh and I just got done giving some third party opinions to my vocalist who is mixing our friend's new Blackened crust band, check it out fellas and lemme know what you thiink(especially with regads to the production) : http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=330769317024078

Finished recording demo tracks, putting vocals in later today. It's just a live recording with an sm57. It's for our vocalist to listen to and memorize the lyrics, pretty soon we'll track everything appropriately and add in bass and keys for atmosphere. This is our latest song and it's my favorite so far. It's just me on drums and my friend that plays a 7-string electric violin, I should just wait to post until the vocals are added in but goddamnit we're basically the only ones that have heard it.

Do any of you guys have experience with portable digital recorders? I've wanted to buy one for some time now, but I honestly have no clue where to start. I've looked at several Tascam models (the DR-07mkII and the DR-40, respectively), but I have no experience with any digital recorders. I'm looking to spend $250 at the most, are there any viable options in this price range?

I've been in a few bands a year ago when I was in the states, since those fell through I'm just building my skills with technique and possibly songwriting. I got invited to play for a hardcore/crust band as well as a drum/bass project. I might consider it, but not rushing to join any new bands just yet. I think I've come to the point where I feel I would be ready to start writing and directing a band of my own for the music I like. I've had alot of experience playing with bands of various styles just for the sake of experience, I think its time to follow my own creative will now.

Lol if you are going that route hell.... just say you have the music on there and just release the floppies. Kinda like that Blood Duster "album" that they said they recorded and then destroyed the masters and then took the vinyl and scratched them up to the point you can't listen to anything....yea I call bullshit on that.

Into the studio for some more recording with my band tonight. Last weekend we filmed a new video based on JG Ballard's novel 'Concrete Island', and the song we're finishing up is kind of a My Bloody Valentine thing. We've got about 15 guitar tracks and 4 different synthesizers on it. It sounds pretty good but it's gonna be hell to mix.
